Since it’s back to school month my challenge for you is to take a class on something that sparks your interest. I’m constantly on a learning quest so this month’s Get Out of Your Box Challenge isn’t much of a challenge for me unless the class is mechanics, physics or math. I enjoy taking classes on things that spark my interest. Be curious and pay attention to what catches your eye or sounds interesting.
I’ve taken numerous classes over the years. You can read more about some of them here. Some classes were on-line and others were at a location. I like doing a combination of both types of classes. I enjoy the social interaction of classes held at a place, and I like the flexibility of taking classes at my own pace in the comfort of my home. I recently signed up for a class on Life With Intention through Jess Lively. I listen to her podcasts and setting intentions is something I’m interested in learning more about. The class doesn’t officially start until September, but I signed up for the head start summer program. Life With Intention requires a lot of soul-searching work and tapping into your intuition.
The list is endless when it comes to the types of classes you can find on the internet or in your local area. The following is a list of ideas to get you started and hopefully spark your interest.

Skillshare is a website where you can learn a new skill a day with bite sizes lessons from over 7,000 classes. Skillshare offers access to a certain number of free classes or you can pay a monthly fee and have access to the whole site. I have found there is a class on just about anything you can dream of and most of the videos are under 2 hours.
What type of class will you take this month?

If you would like to help teachers during back to school month check out Donors Choose. It’s a great way to help teachers in your area or around the United States who are in need of supplies for their classrooms.
Good grief! You forgot to add art classes like Mosaics!!! I just finished taking a color theory in oils class and last year I took a ceramics class at a local community center. We have many classes to choose from including beginner classes.
I actually thought of it after the fact 🙂 I’m not as artistic as you! I’ve noticed watercolor classes seem to be popular now.
I will add art classes for future viewers.
As you know I’m stepping out of my box and into studying!!! Wow it’s challenging, just hoping I will do well. I won’t give up even though there is a voice inside me saying too…….
Yay Keri! Keep at it! You can do it!
